While I agree in principle with this Carney is working on undoing decades of advancement that we have made because people are giving him this benefit of the doubt. While his trade work is very important things like privatizing airport will cause irreparable harm for decades to come. I think we can defend ourselves and grow trade without resorting to gutting the things that make humans lives better.

    As a Canadian Carney is a conservative in the way our progressive conservative party used to be. All his financial policies are textbook conservative/liberal policies that focus on corporate growth and rights vs environment or people. The man has been the leader of 2 Central Banks. He's just a less despicable person than his competition was

    Hand on the top is way more comfortable. I certainly don't think or drive like vin Diesel. 2 hands near my lap is wildly uncomfortable. Sometimes I can do one right at the bottom but that depends on the car. Sometimes people's body geometry is different and different things work.

    It was meant to be a backwater station around a planet that was unstable. Mostly they job was be in the way of cardasian return and try valiently to get things towards Fed membership. I believe he had been a Lt commander aboard ships serving as the XO. He was at least a project lead at the ship yards. He may have even run the yards, I don't recall right now.

    He was pushed into a command role that was intended to bring him back to where his career was many to be.

    The rank of a station commander depends on the importance of the station in the fleet. Admiralty are posted to stations that are region command stations. The postings serve as command of the fleets in the region as well. For smaller posts the rank to command them drops a lot. Sisko was placed in command of one small station with a couple runabouts. The rank of Commander suits the post. Once it got more important he was already imbedded deeply with the the bajorans.
